Hmmm - reciprocating saw: I had one of those on Whidbey. Lost a bunch of stuff there, and in QC the move from the cabin in the woods to the @#$%^Mill resulted in stuff being so disrupted/disorganized/... that I am still remembering - oh yeah, I wonder where... Having gotten so sick there, I resist going there at all. But... Maybe... A few minutes, as I did to collect a few things last week. Warm sunny days in October might be OK. Actually - (new thought!) I could take a couple bins back to QC to collect and store things.

I have a quantity of stuff sorted out for Pat. Went to shed today and emptied an almost empty bin. Maybe another tomorrow. I may end up giving her a bin or two as well - full!

No luck re bookcases at the thrift shops so I texted Dan re building them in for me - very simple ones for glazes and materials... Did obtain a high quality Duvet (no cover but there is one in QC) for $15. THAT will keep me warm this winter!

Pulled the netting off one strawberry bed today and cut off numerous runners which are currently soaking in water until I have the energy to plant them. I think I can wrap them in something moist. May try to take them to QC on 25th. My energy level continues to be get out and push mode; I am usually better on the 3rd day. Hope for tomorrow - to make pottery. But at least I have done a few useful things.

Last year when I told the doctor I had lost 15 pounds (almost down to 160), he told me that older women need to have weight on them. I have gained back - last few weeks and NOT on purpose! - about 8 but still think I would like to keep it down. But not going to keep a log or any of that stuff; I know I won't! Having seen my 90 year old friend at 110, I think I see why we need to keep some weight! I will focus on losing some -carefully.
